Как установить download sdk platform tools for windows

In this tutorial, we will discuss all the steps required to install Android Platform Tools and SDK Manager on Windows 10. This tutorial provides the steps for Windows 10, though the steps should be the same on other versions of Windows.

This post is useful for the developers using Android Platform Tools and SDK manager without installing Android Studio for the use cases including hybrid app development using Ionic. It also assumes that a valid JAVA_HOME environment variable exists pointing to the installation directory of Java.

You can follow How To Install Java 8 On Windows 10, How To Install Java 11 On Windows, How To Install Java 15 On Windows, or How To Install OpenJDK 15 On Windows to install Java on Windows. In case you are interested in developing Android applications using Android Studio, you can also follow How To Install Android Studio On Windows.

Step 1 — Download SDK Tools

Open the download tab of Android Studio and scroll down to the Command line tools only section. This section shows various options to download the SDK tools as shown in Fig 1.

Click the first link having the download option for Windows as highlighted in Fig 1. It will ask to accept to terms and conditions as shown in Fig 2.

Go through the details, agree on the terms and conditions and click the Download Button to start the download.

Step 2 — Install Command Line Tools

In this step, we will install the Android Command Line Tools on Windows 10. Create the directory android-sdk at your preferred location and extract the content of the downloaded SDK Tools zip to this directory. Make sure that the extracted content is available within the android-sdk directory created by us as shown in Fig 3.

Step 3 — Install Platform Tools

In this step, we will install the Android Platform Tools on Windows 10. Follow the same steps similar to Android SDK Tools to install Android Platform Tools using the download link as shown in Fig 4, Fig 5, and Fig 6.

Step 4 — Configure Environment Variable

Right-click the My Computer or This PC on the desktop and click the Properties Option. Now click the Advanced system settings. It will show the System Properties dialog having Advanced Tab options as shown in Fig 7.

Click the Environment Variables Button and click the New Button in the first section. Set the Variable Name field to ANDROID_HOME and Variable Value to the android-sdk directory created by us in the previous step.

Similarly, also configure the environment variable ANDROID_SDK_ROOT to the android-sdk directory.

Also, make sure that the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set to the JDK installation directory. It must not end with the bin as we do with the system path variable.

Step 5 — Configure Commands

In previous steps, we have downloaded and extracted the Command Line Tools and Platform Tools to the android-sdk directory. Both the tools provide several command-line utilities which we need to run by going to the appropriate directory having the executable files.

We can make these commands available at the system level without going to these directories by adding the path to tools, toolsbin, and platform-tools to the system path as shown in Fig 9. Make sure that these executables do not break other commands having the same name before adding these paths to the PATH environment variable.

Now open the Command Prompt and check the ADB and SDK Manager versions as shown in Fig 10. You might be required to restart the system to apply the environment variables set by us.

# Check adb version
adb --version
# It must show the installed adb version
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.41
Version 31.0.0-7110759
Installed as E:toolsjavaandroid-sdkplatform-toolsadb.exe
# Check sdkmanager version
sdkmanager --version
# It will show the error as shown below
Error: Could not determine SDK root.
Error: Either specify it explicitly with --sdk_root= or move this package into its expected location: <sdk>cmdline-toolslatest

We can see that the ADB command works well and shows the version details, but the sdkmanager shows an error — «error: could not determine sdk root. error: either specify it explicitly with —sdk_root= or move this package into its expected location: <sdk>cmdline-toolslatest» since it expects the Command Line Tools in a version-specific directory. Now open the source.properties file from the cmdline-tools directory to check the version. It will show the version details as shown below.

Pkg.Revision=3.0
Pkg.Path=cmdline-tools;3.0
Pkg.Desc=Android SDK Command-line Tools

Now move all the files to the directory cmdline-tools/3.0 as shown in Fig 10.

Also, update the system path as shown in Fig 11.

Now close and open the Command Prompt. Also, check the ADB and SDK Manager versions as shown in Fig 12.

Step 6 — Using the SDK Manager

List — We can list the installed and available packages and images using the list command as shown below.

// List all the installed and available platforms, system images and other resources 
sdkmanager --list
// Output should look like
Installed packages:=====================] 100% Computing updates...
  Path           | Version | Description                   | Location
  -------        | ------- | -------                       | -------
  platform-tools | 31.0.0  | Android SDK Platform-Tools 31 | platform-tools
Available Packages:
  Path                                                                                     | Version      | Description
  -------                                                                                  | -------      | -------
  add-ons;addon-google_apis-google-15                                                      | 3            | Google APIs
...
...
// We can see that it shows the tools and platform-tools installed by us

Install Platform — Use the below-mentioned command to install the Android 10 (API level 30) using the SDK manager.

# Go to the SDK Tools bin directory to access sdkmanager
# Start download the most recent package
sdkmanager "platforms;android-30"

It will ask to accept the terms and conditions as shown in Fig 13. Enter y and hit Enter Key to accept the terms and conditions. This command creates the directory platforms within android-sdk and installs the package android-30 having all the required files to run the emulator for Android 10.

If we again check the installed packages, the list command shows the installed options as shown below.

sdkmanager --list
Installed packages:=====================] 100% Computing updates...
  Path                 | Version | Description                   | Location
  -------              | ------- | -------                       | -------
  platform-tools       | 31.0.0  | Android SDK Platform-Tools 31 | platform-tools
  platforms;android-30 | 3       | Android SDK Platform 30       | platformsandroid-30
Available Packages:
  Path                                                                                     | Version      | Description
  -------                                                                                  | -------      | -------
  add-ons;addon-google_apis-google-15                                                      | 3            | Google APIs
  add-ons;addon-google_apis-google-16                                                      | 4            | Google APIs
...
...

Update SDK Manager — Update the SDK manager using the below-mentioned command.

sdkmanager --update

Add System Image — We can add system images from available images shown by the list command using the SDK manager as shown below. We are adding the most recent default 64-bit system image.

// Install default system image for platform android-30
sdkmanager "system-images;android-30;google_apis;x86_64"

Accept the License Agreement to complete the download.

There are several projects which need Google Play Services. We need system images specific to Google Play Services as shown below.

// Install Google Play Services system image
sdkmanager "system-images;android-30;google_apis_playstore;x86_64"

Accept the License Agreement to complete the download.

Install Emulator — We need to install the emulator before creating the AVD using SDK Manager.

// Install Emulator
sdkmanager --channel=3 emulator

Accept the License Agreement to complete the download.

Install Build Tools — Install the most recent build tool listed by the list command.

// Install Build Tools
sdkmanager "<build tools version>"
// Example
sdkmanager "build-tools;30.0.3"

Step 7 — Using the Emulator and AVD Manager

Create Android Emulator — Create the emulator using the system image downloaded in the previous step as shown below. Replace <emulator name> with the actual name preferred by you.

// Create the emulator using default system image
avdmanager create avd -n <emulator name> -k "system-images;android-30;google_apis;x86_64" -g "google_apis"
// Example:
avdmanager create avd -n emulator30 -k "system-images;android-30;google_apis;x86_64" -g "google_apis"
// Create emulator using Google Play Services system image
avdmanager create avd -n <emulator name> -k "system-images;android-30;google_apis_playstore;x86_64"



  


                       
  



// Example:
avdmanager create avd -n emulator30ps -k "system-images;android-30;google_apis_playstore;x86_64"

The above commands ask a bunch of questions to configure the AVD if we choose the custom hardware profile option. We have excluded the details of these options from this tutorial since these configuration details depend on the actual needs. After completing all the configurations, it creates the AVD using the name provided by us while configuring it.

Similarly, we can also install the AVD of older versions as shown below.

// Create the emulator using default system image
avdmanager create avd -n <emulator name> -k "system-images;android-29;default;x86_64" -g "default"
// Example:
avdmanager create avd -n emulator29 -k "system-images;android-29;default;x86_64" -g "default"
// Create emulator using Google Play Services system image
avdmanager create avd -n <emulator name> -k "system-images;android-29;google_apis_playstore;x86_64"
// Example:
avdmanager create avd -n emulator29ps -k "system-images;android-29;google_apis_playstore;x86_64"

List Android Emulators — Now go to the tools directory on the command line and check the installed platform as shown below.

Notes: Add Emulator to the system path as shown in Fig 14.

Close and re-open the Command Prompt to check the AVDs created by us in the previous steps.

// List the available emulators
emulator -list-avds
// Output
default28
emulator30
emulator30ps

It will list all the AVDs installed by us.

Run Emulator — We can run the emulator created by us as shown below.

// Run Emulator
emulator -avd <emulator name>
// Exampleemulator -avd emulator30

The emulator will take some time to completely launch the AVD. The final results should look similar to Fig 15.

Delete Emulator — We can also delete an existing emulator as shown below.

// Delete Emulator
avdmanager delete avd -n <emulator name>

Summary

This tutorial provided all the steps required to install Android Platform Tools and Android SDK Manager on Windows 10. It also provided the steps required to create and launch the AVDs using the Emulator.

The Android SDK Platform Tools are programs used to directly interface with the Android operating system. This includes tools such as adb and fastboot.

It supports Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. There is an installable version and a portable version.

Android SDK Platform Tools

Windows

1. Download the Android SDK (from Google’s website) and install it.

]

1. Be sure to record the destination folder, or choose where you would like it. Default is C:androidandroid-sdk .

2. Once installed, start SDK Manager (the checkbox will already be selected)

1. Once the SDK opens, check the first three (3) boxes; they are labeled «Tools,» «Android SDK Tools,» and «Android SDK Platform-tools«. Install these packages.

2. Once the packages have finished installing, you can close the program.

3. You will have to be in the platform-tools folder to use the tools, so move any needed files there.

Mac OS X

Ubuntu/Debian/Linux Mint

On Ubuntu 12.10, android-tools are inside the repositories and can be easily downloaded.

sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot

This package includes adb, fastboot, and other binaries.

On older Ubuntu version or Debian systems, you’ll need to manually add the PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa: nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot

Once that package is installed, adb and fastboot can be run from anywhere in the terminal.

Fedora

Arch Linux/Chakra

Just install these two packages from the AUR:

• android-sdk-platform-tools
• udev-android-rules

You can now use adb and fastboot from the terminal, anywhere.

Other Linux Distros

If all else fails or your distro doesn’t support the packages we give you, no worries. Just use the linux_sdk_adb-installer_v2.sh script under the «linux» folder in the archive, and everything will be installed in no time.

This script comes from here

Make sure your phone is being recognized- type:

If your drivers are installed correctly, this should show your phone’s serial number. You should hear the found device noises when you plug your phone in. if it starts installing drivers,wait for it to finish before typing the adb devices command.

Quick and Dirty ADB

If you need ADB on a portable drive or don’t feel like installing the Platform Tools, just use this.

{{Note|Put all files to be used by ADB in the folder where you extracted it to, since it is not a system program.}}

Files to Get

You will need to download this archive and extract it.

• miniadb_inc.zip — Modified from Scotty’s original miniadb package. Now with Linux installation instructions and binaries, and cleaned up to work for all phones.

Quick and Dirty ADB (Windows)

First, unzip your miniadb-inc.zip file into the root folder of your hard drive, such as C:. This means the top level, not inside any folders, so just copy and paste the folder onto C: with everything else that is there.

You actually can call it whatver you want,but directions from here forward will assume this folder to be named miniadb_inc

Open a command window. In Windows 7, click the start bubble in the lower left and type command in the search box to find the Command Prompt application. In Windows XP, go to Run and type cmd.exe to run it.

Type the following at the prompt in your cmd window to change to your miniadb_inc directory.

Your command prompt should display c:miniadb_inc> provided you:

1. unzipped the miniadb_inc zip
2. put the folder on your c drive
3. didn’t change the name

Now make sure usb debugging is checked in Settings/Apps/Development on your phone,and plug your phone into your PC with a usb cable

Quick and Dirty ADB (Mac and Linux)

Extract the miniadb-inc.zip somewhere accessible, like the /home folder.

• Mac OS X: Use the adbmac binary: substitute all adb commands with ./adbmac.
• Linux: Use the adblinux binary: substitute all adb commands with ./adblinux.

Nobody can call oneself an avid Android user without being familiar with ADB and Fastboot. They are very useful command-line tools that can be used to perform countless developer-level tasks on Android devices. You can use ADB and Fastboot commands on Windows, macOS, or Linux to control and customize your Android phone or tablet. Before you can do that, however, you must download and install the ADB drivers on your computer. The SDK Platform tools pack together all required files to execute ADB and Fastboot commands. Below, you can download the latest SDK platform tools Zip for Windows, Linux, and macOS X directly from the Google servers.

Using ADB and Fastboot commands, you can install, uninstall, debug and emulate apps, customize your Android device, enable and disable hidden settings, back up your data, push and full files, and remotely control your device from your computer. Moreover, you can also flash factory images, custom recovery, sideload APK, and so on. If you want to learn about the possibilities you can explore after installing the Android SDK platform tools, please refer check out the following lists of commands.

• ADB commands list
• ADB Shell commands list
• Fastboot commands cheat sheet

What is SDK Platform Tools?

SDK is an abbreviation for Software Development Kit. The SDK platform tools contain the ADB and Fastboot drivers for Android. These drivers are very essential because they let a computer establish a connection with an Android phone, tablet, or smartwatch connected over a USB cable or WiFi. Originally, the Android SDK platform tools were a part of the Android SDK Manager and Android Studio. Later, Google decided to release the Platform-tools separately in a compact easy-to-download Zip package for operating systems like Windows, Linux, and Mac.

Download ADB and Fastboot SDK Platform-Tools

Below you can download the Android SDK Tools for all three major operating systems for computers.

Android SDK Tools (Windows)

Having downloaded the latest version of Android SDK platform tools for Windows, you can follow the steps given below to set it up.

I wrote a detailed guide on installing ADB and Fastboot on Linux to help you with using ADB commands easily.

Don’t Miss: How to Install Use ADB Commands on Android Phones

How to Set up SDK Platform-Tools

Now that you have already downloaded the SDK platform tools, you need to install or set them up on your computer. If you don’t know what to do with the zip file you just downloaded and how to execute the ADB and Fastboot commands, I am going to explain everything you need to know.

First of all, you need to unzip the “platform-tools-latest.zip“. You can extract it anywhere on your computer but I prefer saving the files to a folder created as “Android” on the C drive on my Windows PC. Having extracted the zip file, you need to launch a command prompt window before you can execute an ADB or Fastboot command.

Launching a Command Window with ADB/Fastboot Path

It’s very easy to launch a command prompt window on a Windows PC. Click the Search icon next to the Windows menu icon on the taskbar and hit the Enter key. In case you need to launch the Command or CMD window from inside the Platform-tools folder, there are 2 ways to do that.

Method 1

1. Open the folder in which you extracted the content of the Platform-tool.zip file.
2. While pressing the Shift key on the keyboard, perform a right-click on your mouse at an empty place inside the folder window.
3. In the context menu, select the “Open command prompt here” or “Open in Terminal” option.
4. You can now execute any ADB or Fastboot command.

Method 2

Well, this method is far easier than the one I described above. You can simply launch a command window from inside the platform-tools folder by typing “cmd” or “powershell”  in the Windows file explorer address bar as shown below and hitting the Enter key on your PC’s keyboard.

Note: Make sure to enable the USB debugging option on your Android device. You can find it under Settings> Developer options. In case you don’t see Developer Options listed under device Settings, open About device> Software Information and tap the Build number 7 times to unlock the hidden Developer options on your Android device.

You need to allow the debugging option so that your devices and computer can communicate and interact with each other. When you execute a command in the command window, you’ll get a pop-up on your Android phone’s screen asking you to Allow USB debugging.

Verify ADB Connection

Note: Make sure you have already installed the proper Android USB Driver from your device’s manufacturer on your computer.

1. Having enabled USB Debugging from Developer options, connect your phone or tablet to the computer using a compatible USB cable.
2. Now launch a command window and type the following command and click the Enter key on the keyboard.

   adb devices

3. You’ll see the list of the IDs of attached devices in the Command Prompt window represented by a string of alphanumeric values as shown below.

Please note that to sideload an APK on your Android phone via ADB or to flash a system image (.img) file using Fastboot commands, you need to place those files inside the “platform-tools” folder first. You can also enable system-wide ADB and fastboot so that you can execute commands without navigating to the “platform-tools” directory every time. If you encounter any problem while running commands, read my tutorial on fixing ADB or Fastboot is not recognized error.

That’s all for now! I’ve also prepared a very exhaustive list of useful ADB, ADB Shell, and Fastboot commands in a dedicated tutorial. Don’t forget to check that.

Now that you have set up SDK Platform tools on your computer, here are a few things that you should start with.

• Uninstall system apps on Android without root
• Turn Safe Mode On or Off using ADB command
• Turn off USB Debugging and Developer options using ADB command

This post was completed with the help of my friend NamNV, who pointing out the way to install Android SDK on Ubuntu without install Android Studio

Thanks to my friend

Welcome to my blog, today I write this post to guide you installing Android SDK on Windows 10 without installing Android Studio. You may wonder why we need it?

For most cases, we just need to install Android Studio and it will do all the necessary works include installing Android SDK. In other cases, you just need the Android SDK rather than install Android Studio to get the Android SDK. For example, if you are a Web/Backend developer and want to try Flutter for Desktop, so installing Android Studio is not necessary. Flutter for Desktop is a new technology, it helps to develop a Desktop app as same as what you do when developing a mobile app with Flutter. For the time being, even if you are developing Windows Desktop app you still have to install Android SDK, otherwise, you have to switch to another programming language.

Let’s going into the installation process.

1. Install Java for Windows 10

The first thing we need is to install Java, Android is based on Java, so Java is a must have thing before we do any works relative to Android development.

Because we don’t want to use Android Studio and just want the Android SDK command line version, so we don’t need to install Java SE Development Kit

Go to Java Windows 10 download page and click Download button: https://java.com/en/download/win10.jsp

2. Install Android SDK Command Line tools

This part is the most important thing in this tutorial. Android Studio help us on doing every works through it’s GUI, sometime we don’t want to use it’s GUI but using command line to interact with it’s core functions, so Android SDK Command Line tool will help us archive this

2.1 Download Android SDK Command Line tools

Go to Android Studio downloads page and select the right package: https://developer.android.com/studio/#downloads

Scroll to Command line tools only and click on the download link from Windows platform, accept the license and click on Download button

The downloaded file is not an installation file, it is a zip file that contains Android SDK tools, so we have to extract and place it in a convenient place that we will use later. Let’s place it in this location C:Android

Create folder Android at drive C and extract the downloaded file here

2.2 Setting environment variables

Open Edit the system environment variables windows by following these steps:

1. On windows search box (at the task bar), type “env” and wait for it to run
2. Click to open “Edit the system environment variables” program
3. After “System Properties” opened at tab “Advanced“, click on “Environment Variables” button

Now we have to setting the “ANDROID_HOME” environment variable to “C:Android“

When the “Environment Variables” windows is opened, click on “New” button at “User variables for…” section. Fill ANDROID_HOME at the “Variable name:” input and fill C:Android at “Variable value:” input. Then click OK button

We will need to use Android tools binary, so let’s modify the PATH variable to add C:Androidtoolsbin to it

2.3 Check if Android command line tools work

Open Windows Power Shell in Administrator mode

type this command and check the result

sdkmanager --help

If the result is something like the bellow, then you are ready for the next step. If not, please re-check above steps or try restarting your computer

Usage:
  sdkmanager [--uninstall] [<common args>] [--package_file=<file>] [<packages>...]
  sdkmanager --update [<common args>]
  sdkmanager --list [<common args>]
  sdkmanager --licenses [<common args>]
  sdkmanager --version

With --install (optional), installs or updates packages.
    By default, the listed packages are installed or (if already installed)
    updated to the latest version.
With --uninstall, uninstall the listed packages.

    <package> is a sdk-style path (e.g. "build-tools;23.0.0" or
             "platforms;android-23").
    <package-file> is a text file where each line is a sdk-style path
                   of a package to install or uninstall.
    Multiple --package_file arguments may be specified in combination
    with explicit paths.

With --update, all installed packages are updated to the latest version.

With --list, all installed and available packages are printed out.

With --licenses, show and offer the option to accept licenses for all
     available packages that have not already been accepted.

With --version, prints the current version of sdkmanager.

2.3 Install Android SDK

Open Windows Power Shell in Administrator mode and run this command to install Android SDK 29, you can change this number to your desired version

sdkmanager --install "platform-tools" "platforms;android-29" "build-tools;29.0.2"

For the first time running the installation, you will be asked for reading and accept the license, type y and press enter key

Congratulation, you have just installed the Android SDK on Windows 10 without installing Android Studio, if you have any problems or questions regrading this tutorial, please let me know. Thank you!

There are various tools available on the Android Software Development Kit, popularly referred to as Android SDK or Android Devkit. The many tools you will find on this devkit are all unique and designed to serve various specific purposes in Android development. Talking about Android SDK Platform-Tools; this is one of the components of the Android SDK, which includes some essential tools for Android development; the tools included are ADB, Fastboot, and Systrace. These tools are useful in the hands of Android app developers. That is to say, if you’re not an app developer for Android mobile OS, it does not mean it will not use for you. Nevertheless, these tools can be employed by ROM, Root, Recovery developers and phone technicians to root Android devices, unlock bootloaders, as well as flash new custom files.

What Platform Can It support? Where Can It be used?

As said above, the platform-tools is a component of Android SDK containing what are considered to be the essential tools for Android app development, viz, ADB, Fastboot, and Systrace. These tools are available for Windows, Linux, and macOS computers. So, if you’re an Android developer, these tools are vital to you, and you can get the version for your computer OS.

Download links

Please refer Android License regarding the software before download.

• Windows

• Mac

• Linux

How to use Android SDK Platform Tools?

• Firstly, you have to download the tools in its ZIP format and extract it to your computer. Make sure you download the version for your OS.

• You should boot your mobile into fastboot/recovery mode and connect with your PC.

• Navigate to the extracted folder using Command Prompt or Terminal. Use the following ADB and Fastboot commands as per your requirements.

Minimal ADB and Fastboot

If you are a regular user who uses adb and fastboot for simple usage like a flash, bootloader unlocks, you can use this software. It is a Windows version. All you have to do is download, extract, and install the executable file.

• Download the ADB drivers.

Installation Steps

• Download and extract the files. Select the adb setup file and run this as Administrator.

• The installation window will open press “Y” twice to install adb system-wide.

• Now you can find the adb files in your installed folder. You can access the command anywhere within your PC. But, it is better to copy the flash and boot files in this folder for the process.

How to use ADB

There are various things you can do with ADB; this tool supports a lot of commands to trigger most functions. Most of them deal with the recovery mode. I try to cover some essential commands.

Note: you must activate “Developer Options” on the device and turn on “USB Debugging” on the Android device before running ADB commands.

ADB commands

Launching ADB requires you know about CMD – Command Prompt. This is because you need to start CMD and use commands to access the folder where you extracted the Platform Tools and launch adb.exe.

How to use Fastboot

Fastboot installs alongside ADB when you extract the ZIP file. Fastboot allows you to run commands on and Android device that is in bootloader mode. There are, however, other ways to use an Android device in bootloader mode, but using Fastboot is the best option. Also, it is possible to unlock an Android device bootloader using Fastboot to install a custom system file.

However, before Fastboot commands can work on an Android device, you must activate “Developer Options” on the device and turn on “USB Debugging.”

Fastboot commands

What is Systrace?

We can say it is an in-built advanced tool in Android Studio to understand your app performance in your Android mobile. It can give you an overview of background process performance, How much CPU it is accessing to do things like that. It also needs ADB to perform the commands. Refer- Systrace Commands.

What More?

The use of these tools is infinite. Our ideas limit it. I try to give some ideas about how to use them. I can say I gave 0.1%. There is plenty of add ons are available, and you can use them as per your requirement. These SDK tools are essential to interact with your mobile with the Android commands. You can do plenty of customizations using these commands. If you hear about the country restriction pixel 4 soli, Yes, you can also lift the restriction. You can also disable bloatware apps in Samsung devices. If you face any problem, or you need additional adb commands, comment below.
